BASIC TOOLS 1

In this tutorial I will be teaching you the basic tools

we first have our move tool

before this i have to explain layers

its like cutting out pictures from a magazine and placing them one over the other
at any point you can move any picture without disturbing the others
we have the same option in photoshop
each layer is different picture which can me adjusted, moved, edited ,etc.

in the layer panel we also have the eye on clicking it the layer turns visible or invisible.

now back to the move tool

it does what it says "MOVE THINGS " lol

we can move around selected layers either in the same file
or onto another file by dragging it to the above tab

on default we are unable to move the background coz it has a lock on it
image

to be able to move it just double click the layer and it will unlock
but makes the main image transparent if there is no background.

We then have our marquee tool 

this allows us to make a selection in a layer and then copy it onto another layer
or cut it from another layer

we can do this by right clicking

by clicking the marquee tool and holding it we can get different shapes for selection.


then we finally have the lasso tool which is basically your free hand marquee tool

by holding down this button we also get more options

we have the magnetic lasso which adjusts according to the border of the image

and we have the polygon lasso which allows you to plot the points of the selection ends
